Warrior Soul has an instinctive need to find a philosophical
or spiritual foundation for any actions and direction for life. The foundation
gives justification and guidance for the right deeds and gives order to the
world in ones comprehension.
When building up the philosophical foundation, it is
important to keep in mind that the moral code should be tested in the light of
all the different cultures and religions as it should be THE Code that
penetrates them all. I personally believe that the universe or god has
already set down the moral code for all those who are Warrior Souls. And what
is set down by such a great power is by its nature universal from the beginning.
In every culture and religion the word Warrior has a certain label in it and all people
recognize it and associate it into a certain kind of a character that separates
the Warrior from the people that represent the other kinds of social casts or
positions in the society. This fact exists because warriors have been always
needed and they always will be needed in their defensive role as protectors of
justice, security and moral codes of the people and society. Many times
warriors have been used in more aggressive way to achieve more power for the
people and society. The question in such cases is the justification of the act
which can be debated. I do believe that if the justification for such
aggressive acts is existing it has its roots in above mentioned defensive
foundations.
Question of Justification comes up when cultures and
religions confront each other with crossing needs. That kind of events would be
solved peacefully if all the participants were seeking the answers from the
universal law and principles. Still the problem can easily stay unsolved as
long as people, cultures and religions are not perfect in the universal aspect.
And this exact matter makes it difficult to believe that the Warrior Code could
penetrate all cultures and religions. Nevertheless it can! It can because it is
simple by nature and therefore easy to apply into use despite the circumstances.
The most amazing thing is that – no matter how simple it is - it gives the
purpose and direction for the Warriors life and it gives answers for any kind
of complicated life situations.
Now the challenge is to find the true universal Warrior Code
and to apply it into different cultures and religions. When trailblazing
through to the true path, one easily comes across with cultures and religions
that no matter how hard one tries they simply don’t give space for the Warrior
Code. Then one must figure out which one is not rooted to the universal
principles, ones own Warrior Code or the culture that one is dealing with? Only
Honesty will carry you over that and lead you to the right path that reaches
for the top of the mountain.
Next articles will tell about some different cultures and
religions that give a huge recognition for the Warrior Souls and the Warrior
Code. I will write about them first as warriors have played crucial role in
them and personally I believe the Warrior Codes they represent are a good
initiative spark for one to start trailblazing the way to the True Universal Warrior
Code.
